Activities

The First Asia-Europe International Symposium on Intelligent Vehicle will be held on May 22-24, 2007 at Shanghai Oriental Land, Shanghai. This symposium is organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and supported by EU Asia-IT&C Programme CyberC3 Project, French-Asia ICT Programme FACT Project and Shanghai Oriental Land. More than 100 participants from China, France, Portugal, Holland, Belgium, Singapore, Korea, Japan, etc., are expected to attend the symposium.

The main aims of this symposium are to exchange new idea and the latest research results in the field of intelligent vehicles, to explore development and application perspective of Cybernetic Transport System in Asia and Europe, and to promote further technology exchange and friendly cooperation among Asia-Europe collaborators.

During the three-day symposium, the CyberC3 Driverless System, which is developed under close cooperation among Asian and European researchers will be demonstrated with some other demonstration by partners from the CyberC3 Project and the FACT project. We are glad to invite you to attend this symposium and relevant demonstration activities. With your participation and support, we believe this symposium can be a big success. Looking forwards to see you in the Shanghai Oriental Land.

Members of the Intelligent Transportation Systems TC were actively involved in organizing the IEEE ITSC 2006. Urbano Nunes was the Program Chair, and Alberto Broggi was a Program Co-Chair of the Conference.

Several Special Sessions have been set up at the conference, namely the following more closely related with R&A topics:

Members of the Intelligent Transportation Systems TC are actively involved in organizing the IEEE ITSC 2006. Katsushi Ikeuchi is the General Chair, and Christian Laugier is a Program Co-Chair of the Conference.

Conference on basic research and present and future applications for Intelligent Vehicles and Intelligent Infrastructures. IEEE Intelligent Transportation System Society (ITSS) sponsored Symposium.

Members of the Intelligent Transportation Systems TC were actively involved in organizing the IEEE ITSC 2005. Stefano Stramigioli was the Program Chair, and Alberto Broggi and Bart de Schutter were Program Co-Chairs of the Conference.

The VisLab research group (Univ of Parma, Italy) participated with a great success to the Grand Challenge. They were part of the TerraMax team, the only team which fielded a truck and was able to have it reach the finish line! VisLab designed the vision system for this truck, based on a trinocular system. The TerraMax vehicle was the only vehicle which reached the finish line using vision as its primary sensor.

Members of the Intelligent Transportation Systems TC were actively involved in organizing the IEEE IV'04. Alberto Broggi was the General Chair, and Christoph Stiller was the Program Chair of the Symposium.

The Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV'04) is an annual forum sponsored by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Council. It gathers researchers from industry and universities to discuss research and applications for Intelligent Vehicles and Intelligent Infrastructures.

Intelligent Transportation Systems

Scope:

The goal of the TC on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is to promote ITS applications within the Robotics and Automation Society and catalize the interaction between RAS and the Intelligent Transportation Systems Council. This is meaningful due to the variety of Robotics Technologies which are currently used in ITS. The committee will try to achieve these goals by organizing cross RAS-ITS events like special sessions, workshops, special issues etc. The TC will also try to promote international collaborations on this topic.

Examples of typical robotic technologies applied to the field of transportation are:
